I am Mentally Insane!

Well this may throw you for a loop but I have some weird ticks and its hard to describe them but I am not literally crazy. One of them is I have to write whatever I do down to acheive a goal. Like for general fat loss to start riding faster, I have to keep a journal of everything I ate and how many calories I burned and how many miles I rode over which terrain. Since I despise writing, I just cut back on my food a lot. Within about two weeks from now I will be around 140-145 which is my goal weight as I am 6' tall.

CBR Dominguez Hills.

I woke up nicely to pancakes, eggs and sausage made by none other than my wonderful momma. I didnt really have to pack the car due to tiredness the night before so i just drove to the race around 10 and got there around 11:30ish. I got registered did some normal trash talking as per usual and then met up with the team and got ready to go. I rolled up to the line and the race got going and without even trying i had a rather large gap. I put in an effort to get the legs going then let the field catch me. I won a few primes and raced around in circles for a while being myself. With about 5 or 6 laps to go I was off the front by about 20 seconds with Erik Volotkzy. He had a little trouble staying up with me but I made sure not to drop him because he is a great kid and progressing very fast. With two laps remaining we were finally caught and I just stayed near the front but the last lap turned really sketchy and I got boxed in then shut out...By my own team mate! haha. Kit Karzen ended up winning his like 1 billionth race in a row. If you read this you need to upgrade. Just letting you know haha. The normal chitluns were out there including fake-jew-baby Ryan Cleveland, Nate "My Glasses Make me Captain" Swift, Andrew "Motivational Speaker" Bosco, Patrick Torr-mylegsoff-es, Big Kevin "K Mil" Miller, and the buff arm of the law Dave Jacobson. Not sure where we all ended up but as a team we raced "better" than the last race. We still have many flaws to improve on but that will hopefully come with time.

Island View Crit

Well I started off the day with a nice stuffed blunt - wait I mean group ride. Been listening to too much Nickatina. Felt ok and spent half the time trash talking with Ryan Yee about how I didn't want to race for his "Fly V Australia" team (after I asked about it and he said no, haha). I got home then ate and cleaned up then drove to the research park, registered, skated, trash talked some more, got dressed, warmed up and rolled to the start line. Right from the gun a break goes with a bunch of dangerous cats like Cody O'Reilly, Eric Bennett, and Danny Finneran. I was in a bad start spot and didn't get in that break that lapped the field in a matter of about 15 minutes. I hung in and got some primes and with 6 laps to go I shift and BANG! mechanical. Chain goes around the dropout and stay, but I assess the situation and fix it then roll to the pit where they push me back in after a free lap. If that would have happened one lap later I would have been finished. I rode the last laps in a 45x13 spinning about 150 cadence. Sprinted in and got spit on by some idiot, so I raised my hands and came across the line with the infamous female dog lady right there.

James rode a very aggressive race and was in the front 1/3 the whole time killing it and best of all was really helping me out with advice and guidance on where to be and what to do. He really is a great friend and teammate no matter how much we joke around with each other. Well they did not put James on the results but I guess I got 30th.
